What are sapphire brackets?

Sapphire brackets are an alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments. They are characterised by being much more aesthetic than metal brackets, as, being made of sapphire crystal, a transparent material, they are more inconspicuous. This allows the tooth to be perceived as if the patient is not wearing their orthodontic appliance, being invisible to the naked eye. Furthermore, both the wires and ligatures are white, which makes their use even more inconspicuous.

The design and manufacture of all these elements means the bracket blends in much better with the teeth than with other similar treatments. As for its functioning, the sapphire bracket has the same characteristics as other types of orthodontics: they allow correcting bite problems, such as crowding, open bite, crossbite, scissors bite or overbite, among others.

Step by step

Sapphire brackets treatment phases

1

Study phase

The treatment begins with the diagnosis of the patient's teeth. The specialist carries out a series of clinical tests such as x-rays or photographs to find the appropriate diagnosis and communicate it to the patient. Once the patient has decided to start the treatment, the sapphire brackets are requested from the manufacturer and the patient is given an appointment for their fitting.

2

Active phase: cementation of brackets

This is the phase in which the cementation (bonding with a special adhesive) of the sapphire brackets on the tooth takes place. It is recommended that the patient undergo a dental cleaning beforehand that properly cleans all the teeth before precisely fixing the brackets.

3

Correction of the bite

The teeth begin to fit from front to back and from top to bottom, reaching their corresponding position.

4

Closing of dental spaces

The dental spaces are closed to align the teeth in their correct position.

5

Finishing

The patient attends the specialist to determine whether the teeth are in their correct position, making small adjustments to the treatment if necessary to achieve the definitive results.

6

Removal of brackets and retention phase

The brackets are removed when all previous objectives have been achieved. Once the treatment is finished, it is always necessary to place retainers to maintain the results achieved in the previous phases.

FAQs about sapphire brackets

Sapphire brackets are a type of aesthetic orthodontics made from transparent sapphire crystal, making them practically invisible. Unlike metal brackets, their transparency allows them to blend with the natural colour of the teeth, offering a more discreet option for dental correction.

The main difference is their aesthetics. Sapphire brackets are transparent and go unnoticed, while metal ones are visible. Additionally, sapphire brackets do not stain or wear over time, making them a more resistant and durable option.

Yes, sapphire brackets are equally effective as metal ones for correcting dental alignment problems. They can treat malocclusion, crowding, overbite and crossbite, among other problems. The only difference is their aesthetic appearance.

No, sapphire brackets are designed to resist staining and do not yellow over time, unlike some plastic or ceramic brackets. However, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene to avoid staining on the ligatures and wire.

Duration depends on the problem to be corrected. For mild crowding, it can last between 6 and 18 months. For more complex problems such as bite or malocclusion, treatment can extend from 18 to 24 months.

No, sapphire brackets are very resistant. Sapphire crystal is one of the strongest materials used in orthodontics, making them less prone to breakage than other aesthetic brackets such as ceramic ones.

You should avoid hard foods such as sweets, nuts and ice, as well as sticky foods such as chewing gum or gummy sweets, and crunchy foods that could damage the brackets.

No, sapphire brackets do not damage teeth. They are designed to adhere safely without affecting the enamel. However, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment to avoid plaque build-up and decay.
